Some people might think it's petty (I'm inclined to think it's slightly petty, although not to a degree where it really bothers me) but she still has the right to say how she feels.
I agree with Yeaux. On top of it, her lyrics are, "don't call *me*..." not "don't call *women*..."
She seems to be referring to a specific person, so I'm not really sure what the song has to do with feminism.
Yeah it isn't obliquely making a political stance. But I figured it would rub a few the wrong way and give me another chance to understand the current anti-feminism I frequently see come up in atheist circles. (Maybe it comes up everywhere but I just hang out in atheist circles?) Certainly there has been enough progress made that a shrill feminist is not likely to get a lot of support. Never cared for the shrill ones personally anyway. Anyone remember Andrea Dworkin? *shudders*
